It happened to me

[GenesisG70]

Now that my OEM wheels have been rubbed against a cement curb on the road is time to use this an an excuse to but mew new shinny new wheels.

I tried to find wheels with OEM size 19.0 x 8.5 in rear and 19.0 x 8.0 in front but I couldn't they all come in one size.

Any one knows if I can put rim size 19.0 x 8.5 in in all 4 corners of the car? Any downside regarding handling problems, issues with long term stress to the suspension, brakes etc?

Thank you in advance.

yes you can put 8.5" wide and 34 offset at all four corners. I believe a 245 tire clears in front fine on an 8.5 rim. but I don't understand why you can't find aftermarket wheels in oem widths and keep running staggered if that is your preference. I know for certain that tsw has 8.0 and 8.5 wheels in offsets that work. that said, how bad was the scrape and where? maybe the powder coat solution is for you. it works for a lot of us.

Scrabe is really bad and good to know about the power coat option. Thank you for your reply I'll check the tsw wheels.
